In my last blog post, I showed you how to work with JFR files using DuckDB, which started a blog series that I surely will continue. Just not this week. Instead, I want to showcase a tiny app to run AI models using the MediaPipe API directly on your phone. I created the app for another purpose (perhaps described in a future blog post) earlier this year, but never wrote anything about it. So here we are.

TL;DR: I built an Android app that offers AI models via a server

The app is open-source and available on GitHub; it’s experimental, but maybe it can help you build your own apps. You can download the releases page of the repo and install it.
